The big bad Yankees roll into town for three games. The Jays meet the Yankees in the middle of their tough stretch of games. There are nine games left in this stretch, these three and then three on the road in both Tampa and New York next week. The Yankees are cruising along in the wild card spot but not gaining on Tampa. They are 6.5 games back and look destined for a wild card spot. Aaron Judge is still missing but the Yanks have a new super prospect, George Lombard Jr. who was called up a week ago. The 21 year old is hitting .276 in eight games with two home runs. Lombard is the son of former major leaguer George Lombard Sr.
